(Built-in model only.)

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiﬁed persons in

order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the combination

mode, children should only use the oven under adult

supervision due to the temperatures generated.

The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the

The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance

is operating.

CAUTION

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens;

DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or

silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.

Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.

Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may

damage the oven.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye

on the oven due to the possibility of ignition;

Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.

Use shorter times for smaller amounts of food to prevent

catch ﬁre as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also

overheat and switch itself o automatically, and will remain o

until it cools suciently.

Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to

avoid unintentional burns.

Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls until the

oven has cooled down.

Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and

allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to

INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Place the oven on a ﬂat level surface 85 cm above the ﬂoor. The surface

should be strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

1. When you install your oven, make sure there is

adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least

10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides

of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.

2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.

Install the roller ring and turntable.

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or

assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 240 Volt, 50Hz,

AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it

must be replaced by a special cable.

Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like

next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply speciﬁcations

of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must

be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven.

Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your

microwave oven for the ﬁrst time.

COOKWARE GUIDE

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to

penetrate the food, without being reﬂected or absorbed by the dish used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the

cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether

and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

COOKING GUIDE

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its

water, fat and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid

movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks

the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum

eciency. Microwaves are reﬂected by metal, such as stainless steel,

aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass,

porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be

cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or

frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, ﬁsh, and meat. Sauces,

custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be

cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is

ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter

or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water

rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in

dierent ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable

cling ﬁlm.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the

temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum

time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter

after cooking. Cover during standing time.

Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3

tbsp.) for every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended - see

get the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt,

herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.

After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and

salt or add herbs and butter.

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the

cooking time is ﬁnished.

Pasta : Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of

salt and stir well. Cook uncovered.

Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during

standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.
